Very Proud of our Team Revolution Extreme Performance Team for putting on a fantastic show at the Fantasy of Trees this weekend. They did great!!! Such a wonderful group of young people. We are looking for more performances....any ideas? Church events, youth groups, sporting events. It is an exciting show hosted by these talented martial artists.

Leadership Team helps set up Fantasy of Trees

We are also extremely proud of our Leadership Team & Parents for helping assist in setting up the fantasy of trees to benefit East Tennessee Children's Hospital as their cycle leadership project! Way to go guys!

As we gear up for rank exams, don't forget to make sure you get all of your merit badges, and partners-in-learning stars turned in. The last day to accept the A.L.L.Y. program requirements is on Thursday, December 12th by close. The merit badges are for bringing in at least 10 items of non-perishable food items, completing the practice at home form with questions (found on kicksite) as well as 270 minutes of practice time,  and having your teacher fill out your partner-in-learning form (found by the desk). 

Next Cycle's Weapon is the Nun-Chuck ($14.98). Weapons classes are offered every Saturday at 12:00p.m. The weapons program is offered to All-Access students for free, and is $5.00 per class for students not on the All-Access Program.  You may also rent a weapon for $5.00 per class instead of purchasing one.
